After dealing with an influx of boaties over the last two summers, it's been a "bit slower" to get started in Marlborough this season.

Our marinas teams were well organised in preparation," the spokesperson said. At the time, the plan prohibited vehicles on the "grassed open spaces" of Memorial Park, unless otherwise agreed for things such as maintenance activities or events. "There's not really kind of one key hot spot. Others were also parking over residential driveways. "There's definitely still lots of people boating, but from what I've been told, compared to last year it was a bit slower to get going, but still has been a busy season," Marlborough harbourmaster Jake Oliver said.

[welcomed Siliga Sani Muliaumaseali'I late last year as weekday host](https://www.rnz.co.nz/concert/programmes/upbeat/audio/2018855587/rnz-concert-breakfast-hosts-announced), will now feature new releases, favourites, as well as music and tidbits relating to events of the day. RNZ Concert will launch a refreshed programme schedule on Monday, in a bid to better reflect the listening needs of the audience throughout the day. "We think Tom's ability to relate to listeners from all parts of New Zealand and his natural curiosity will bring a new dimension and balance to The Detail." "Corin and the majority of the Morning Report team will continue to work out of the Capital, but we've purposely added a couple of Auckland-based people to the team as we work to increase our audience share in our biggest city," Sutherland said. Dann will return to the programme for the new year next week, with Monday also being Rarere's first day back with First Up and as Morning Report's sports commentator.

Hipkiss will host the flagship show alongside Corin Dann each morning from 6 until 9am, RNZ announced on Thursday morning.

Aotearoa's sexual health clinics have been operating with the same staff and resources for almost a decade, despite increasing demand.

Dr Massimo Giola has worked as a sexual health specialist for 30 years, first in Italy and now in the Bay of Plenty. South Islanders hoping to consult a free sexual health specialist would need to travel to Christchurch, potentially hundreds of kilometres away. The rationale behind this decision was to transform clinics into a secondary-level service only accessible by referral, which was expected to reduce demand by 30 percent. Auckland had four clinics, but none were open on weekends and just two accepted walk-ins. "You can go around and ask everyone in the sexual health sector, there is not a single person that will tell you our sexual health services are adequate," he said. Sexual health specialists are calling for a review of the Auckland Sexual Health Service, alongside further investment in public clinics around the country.
